As we know, our Democracy is in grave danger. Not only has our society become more polarized and strident but economic power has increasingly become concentrated in key industries. As Lina Kahn, the head of the Federal Trade Commission, has expressed, “Monopolies not only hurt consumers and business but harm our Democracy”.

Recently, the radio program "On Point" on Nation Public Radio(NPR), did a fascinating five part series, dealing with the hidden power of monopolies in America. For our next discussion group, March 18, 9:30 am, please listen to the following programs:

More than Money: the Monopoly on Meat - from February 14, 2022 

This episode looks at how corporate monopolies dominate the beef industry. "It's failed consumers on one end of the supply chain, and it's failed the American family farmer and rancher on the other." 

More than Money: Microsoft and the Big Tech Question - from February 15, 2022 Microsoft wants to acquire Activision-Blizzard for almost $70 billion. Microsoft says it won't harm consumers. But is the mega-merger a new kind of monopoly? 

Whether this will be a Zoom discussion or in person meeting has yet to be determined. If you are willing to host this group at your home, please contact Annettecarnow@gmail.com.
